The scientific name of the brown bear, Ursus arctos, comes from the Latin ursus, meaning "bear", and the Greek ἄρκτος/arktos, also meaning "bear".

So it looks like Owen is actually correct
3is is exceptionally odd, considering 3e fact 3at greek «ἄρκτος» is cognate wi3 english „arctic“
That’s because the Arctic is named after the Great Bear constellation.
